Health screening month at Ceylinco Healthcare Center

It’s the annual health screening month at one of Sri Lanka’s leading healthcare providers -

Ceylinco Healthcare Services Ltd. (CHSL) at No. 60, Park Street, Colombo 02.

Launching this promotion for the fourth consecutive year, CHSL says that due to the overwhelming response this promotion always gets extended by another month.

An attractive health package comprising a consultation with a medical officer, full medical examination, Body Mass Index (BMI), visual acuity, blood pressure check, refraction test, fasting blood sugar test, total cholesterol level, full blood count and urine full report is being offered this month of June at a special 59% discounted rate of Rs. 990 only.

CHLS Senior Medical Officer Dr. Shyama Fernando told the Daily FT: “The promotion this year is geared mainly to encourage the corporate sector and the general work force in this country to be health conscious and get screened for non communicable diseases which includes diabetes, heart diseases, hypertension and cancers. Since such diseases can affect a person at any stage of his/her life we have designed a package to suit any age group. She went on and stressed that these diseases are common today and responsible for increased mortality and morbidity rates among the general population.

It is important to do such screening tests since majority of the population are not aware that they have such diseases at the symptoms do not always show up till late. By the time they realise that they are affected, it is too late to get it under control, said Dr. Fernando.

“Prevention is always cheaper and better than cure. Rather than spending on expensive medications, it becomes more economical for us to make simple lifestyle changes like healthy eating habits, regular exercises and routine health check-up with your doctor to make our lives healthy and happy.”

CHSL has, in addition to the Rs. 990 promotional package, devised three other comprehensive health screening packages which are also offered at a discounted price. The health screening package 1 is offered at Rs. 2,500 at discount of 45% while package 2 is offered at Rs. 4,500 and package 3 at Rs. 6,500. Additional tests could also be included after discussion with the medical officer. You reports would be discussed by your consulting doctor and follow up advice would be given accordingly.
